2021 Hyundai Elantra vs. the 2022 Honda Civic: A North American Favourite

The all-new 2021 Elantra breaks into the segment with so many new updates. Fantastic styling, more safety, admired efficiency and an outstanding price range lead the way. The Elantra also has one of the best combined fuel consumption ratings in the segment. This hasn't gone unnoticed, and the Elantra is earning top awards. 

To help you understand how the Elantra compares to the competition, we line it up here with the 2022 Honda Civic. 

The 2021 Hyundai Elantra offers maximum efficiency 

Despite all the updates, the starting MSRP of the Elantra is among the lowest in its class. Prices begin at under $18,000 compared to a noticeable increase to $24,465 for the Civic. The Elantra doesn't lack value, either. Every Elantra has a lengthy 60-month/100,000 km general warranty, including Comprehensive Limited, Powertrain, and Emission coverage. The Civic only has a 36-month/60,000 km warranty. 

One of the main reasons why people invest in compact vehicles is to save fuel and money. The Elantra serves up some of the best combined fuel efficiency in its class, achieving a combined rating of 6.4 L/100 km. This beats Civic's best at 6.9 L/100 km. The Elantra also has a best highway rating of 5.5 L/100 km, finishing ahead of the Civic's at 6.0L/100 km. 

The Elantra sedan also offers a manual transmission, and an even more efficient hybrid model – two things the Civic doesn’t offer.

The 2021 Hyundai Elantra has a much better interior

Inside, the Elantra stacks more features. It has more front and rear head room, hip room, and shoulder room than its competitor. Rear seat passengers also have more leg room (tie in front). For a vehicle that has a lower price, it offers more room. The Elantra's infotainment system is more intuitive and easy to use than the Civic’s system.

The Elantra family—including the sedan, hybrid, and N-Line—offers so much more than we can provide here. However, take a queue from the experts: the Elantra was recently awarded the 2021 North American Car of the Year by the best North American automotive journalists. They compared all compact vehicles in the segment—including the Civic—and found the Elantra to be superior.
